I still remember how much hype Andrew Wiggins had before he's drafted in the super 2014 class (so are Parker and Embiid to some extent but they are injured now so a bit difficult to say). Ben Simmons is again hyped as the next big thing. Wiggins hasn't become a super star but is doing pretty good for his 2nd year, 21.1ppg, although a bit low on all other stats.

So what do you think, who's the real deal?

Both are so good and could be potential MVPs, but I have to go with Wiggins just because of his shooting. His jumper actually looks pretty smooth, and he could develop a consistent 3 point shot down the way. Simmons has no jumper, and will be lucky if he develops a midrange shot. His shot hurts his potential greatly.

Wiggins strikes me more like a Pippen type player, which is certainly a great player, hall of fame player, but not the special room player.  I think Simmons could be a special room player as a Magic/Lebron type player.

I still like Wiggins over Simmons. Wiggins has shown that he's a somewhat capable shooter, but there are serious questions about Simmons' shot.

Simmons. Higher IQ. Bigger size. Can play 1 to 4

Wiggins 2 to 3

Simmons ... he's got 20-7-7 potential as a point forward.  If he develops a jumper, watch out.

I think Simmons has a higher ceiling but lower floor.
